A practical guide to valuing mining shares and separating true profit from the noise of costs and charges.
This book presents a clear method for evaluating mining investments, using real-world examples to show how operating costs, depreciation, and capital needs affect profits and dividends.

- Learn how operating profits relate to dividends in different mining contexts
- Understand the difference between capital expenditure and operating charges
- See how present-value calculations are applied to mining investments
- Study real-world examples from gold and copper properties to frame valuation
